Case Study
CASE STUDY
Becky and Joe had been dating for 4 1/2 years. They were both in their senior year of college when they got married. Everyone thought they were the perfect couple. He was a big football star, but had suffered enough injuries that he knew he wanted another career. She had been a cheerleader all through high school. They had both been obsessed with taking care of their bodies. Perhaps that is what brought them together; they both spent so much time in the gym.Their marriage had been relatively trouble free for three years and everyone marveled at how well they had taken care of themselves. They both looked as good, if not better, than in their college days. However, one problem had surfaced. Joe wanted children. They both had stable jobs and he was ready to start a family. Becky had been putting of having a baby for over a year now and Joe could not understand why. One night they got into a heated discussion about having children. Becky expressed her feelings. She told Joe that she really did not want to bear a child. She felt adoption was a more reasonable way of getting a child. Her rationale was that they both had spent many years refining their bodies. Why should she be expected to suddenly give up her body to have a baby? She had seen birth films when she was in college and she did not want to go through that process. Joe was devastated. What would happen now?
1.Would it have helped if Joe had known this about Becky before they were married?
2.How could this problem have been identified then?
3.What could have been done before marriage about the problem?
While Joe probably assumed that Becky wanted children and was willing to give birth to them,only half of his assumption was true. Never assume that you know how your partner feels about ideas and important issues. These are differences of opinion that could cause a great deal of stress later in the marriage.

Case Studies: Groups
CASE 1
John was the youngest attorney in his law firm. He had been given increased responsibilities
and wanted to prove to his senior law partners that he was the perfect partner for the firm. He
frequently left for work before his children were awake and worked late hours every evening.
When he was home, he often had a briefcase full of papers he needed to review. He told his
wife to go to bed without him when he still needed to finish briefs for the next day. It seemed
there was never enough time. His wife, Sharon, felt lonely and resentful that he rarely had time
for her or the children. She had lately confided to her friends that her marriage was not worth
saving. Why be married to someone she rarely saw?
CASE 2
Ned worked full-time as a teacher. In order to make ends meet, he also moonlighted four nights
a week as a chef in a local restaurant. It seemed that no matter how hard he tried to earn
enough money, there was always something more the family needed. His wife, Ruth, did not
work outside the home, and occupied her time caring for their three children. Ruth felt resentful
that Ned did not seem to be able to get all the yard work done and never sat down to read to the
children at night. She complained constantly that his work did not pay enough, and told her
husband that she wished he had gone into a different line of work that paid more. Ned felt
unappreciated and found himself not wanting to come home right after work. He would rather
visit with friends who understood him or go fishing.
CASE 3
Susan had five children under the age of eight. Three were still preschoolers. Her days
consisted of doing laundry, cleaning, picking up toys and clothes, taking the children to medical
appointments, and cooking meals. She was exhausted at the end of the day, and felt angry
when her husband had plans after work and on weekends with his buddies. She tried not to
complain but found herself wondering why all the child care was left up to her. Wasn’t he their
father? She was so tired that she went to bed about 10:00 each night. Her husband did not like
the fact that she was too tired to spend the evening with him. He felt she should be anxious to
talk and relax with him. It seemed that other wives were more responsive and that he deserved
better from his wife.
CASE 4
Chris was thirty-four and had a career as a banker. His wife, Jill, was thirty-six and worked fulltime as a newspaper editor. They both had good incomes and earned enough money to travel
and buy the things they wanted. Now that Chris was secure in his position at work, he wanted to
direct his attention to having a family. He and Jill had decided when they married that they
wanted three children and now seemed the best time for them to support children. However, Jill
was having second thoughts about having children. Her work demanded her full attention and
on weekends she liked to entertain guests and go sailing. The more she thought about children,
the more she felt that they would hamper her free time and ability to do what she wanted. She
tried to explain her thoughts to Chris but it always ended in an argument. He thought he should
have married someone else who would give him children. He wanted a divorce.

Wedding:
Mate Selection
CASE STUDY
Becky and Joe had been dating for 4 1/2 years. They were both in their senior year of college when they got married. Everyone thought they were the perfect couple. He was a big football star, but had suffered enough injuries that he knew he wanted another career. She had been a cheerleader all through high school. They had both been obsessed with taking care of their bodies. Perhaps that is what brought them together; they both spent so much time in the gym.Their marriage had been relatively trouble free for three years and everyone marveled at how well they had taken care of themselves. They both looked as good, if not better, than in their college days. However, one problem had surfaced. Joe wanted children. They both had stable jobs and he was ready to start a family. Becky had been putting of having a baby for over a year now and Joe could not understand why. One night they got into a heated discussion about having children. Becky expressed her feelings. She told Joe that she really did not want to bear a child. She felt adoption was a more reasonable way of getting a child. Her rationale was that they both had spent many years refining their bodies. Why should she be expected to suddenly give up her body to have a baby? She had seen birth films when she was in college and she did not want to go through that process. Joe was devastated. What would happen now?
1.Would it have helped if Joe had known this about Becky before they were married?
2.How could this problem have been identified then?
3.What could have been done before marriage about the problem?
While Joe probably assumed that Becky wanted children and was willing to give birth to them,only half of his assumption was true. Never assume that you know how your partner feels about ideas and important issues. These are differences of opinion that could cause a great deal of stress later in the marriage.

CASE 1
John was the youngest attorney in his law firm. He had been given increased responsibilities

frequently left for work before his children were awake and worked late hours every evening.
When he was home, he often had a briefcase full of papers he needed to review. He told his
wife to go to bed without him when he still needed to finish briefs for the next day. It seemed
there was never enough time. His wife, Sharon, felt lonely and resentful that he rarely had time
for her or the children. She had lately confided to her friends that her marriage was not worth
saving. Why be married to someone she rarely saw?
CASE 2
Ned worked full-time as a teacher. In order to make ends meet, he also moonlighted four nights
a week as a chef in a local restaurant. It seemed that no matter how hard he tried to earn
enough money, there was always something more the family needed. His wife, Ruth, did not
work outside the home, and occupied her time caring for their three children. Ruth felt resentful
that Ned did not seem to be able to get all the yard work done and never sat down to read to the
children at night. She complained constantly that his work did not pay enough, and told her
husband that she wished he had gone into a different line of work that paid more. Ned felt
unappreciated and found himself not wanting to come home right after work. He would rather
visit with friends who understood him or go fishing.
CASE 3
Susan had five children under the age of eight. Three were still preschoolers. Her days
consisted of doing laundry, cleaning, picking up toys and clothes, taking the children to medical
appointments, and cooking meals. She was exhausted at the end of the day, and felt angry
when her husband had plans after work and on weekends with his buddies. She tried not to
complain but found herself wondering why all the child care was left up to her. Wasn’t he their
father? She was so tired that she went to bed about 10:00 each night. Her husband did not like
the fact that she was too tired to spend the evening with him. He felt she should be anxious to
talk and relax with him. It seemed that other wives were more responsive and that he deserved
better from his wife.
CASE 4
Chris was thirty-four and had a career as a banker. His wife, Jill, was thirty-six and worked fulltime as a newspaper editor. They both had good incomes and earned enough money to travel
and buy the things they wanted. Now that Chris was secure in his position at work, he wanted to
direct his attention to having a family. He and Jill had decided when they married that they
wanted three children and now seemed the best time for them to support children. However, Jill
was having second thoughts about having children. Her work demanded her full attention and
on weekends she liked to entertain guests and go sailing. The more she thought about children,
the more she felt that they would hamper her free time and ability to do what she wanted. She
tried to explain her thoughts to Chris but it always ended in an argument. He thought he should
have married someone else who would give him children. He wanted a divorce.
